Happenings May 27 - Elementary school Memorial Day ceremony at 1:20 p.m. at the cemetery. History: As soon as the land was cleared, the pioneers devoted their efforts to raising wheat and other grain, and until recent years this branch of farming has predominated. The growing of fruit, especially of apples, was also given early attention. The apples were drawn to Palmyra, where they were loaded on canal boats to be taken to different parts of the country. At that time, the canal boats were drawn by horses and mules. It was not until about the year of 1887 that the culture of raspberries began to be developed.
